If you are currently shopping for some silk bed sheets, you are making the right decision. There is nothing that can compare to the luxury of silk and when you sleep in it, you will never sleep better. It will change the way you look at bed sheets and you should be prepared to never want to use anything again.
Here are some tips to help you buy the right set when it comes to momme weight. Momme weight is how silk is measured in terms of thickness really. The more thick it is, the higher the weight and from that point, you can consider it more luxury. But keep in mind that the higher is not always the better.
First, you need to realize there are higher weights called heavy silks. These start at 19 and go up from there. Anything over 25 and you are looking at a very heavy sheet that is not really used for bedding. Weights that are higher than 25 are typically used for curtains.
I think you should look for 22 or 25mm sheets and for really good reason. Here’s why…
With the higher weight, you can expect a very durable sheet. Many people have rough feet and this damages and causes greatly wear at the end of the bed. You may notice this currently if your feet get snagged on the sheets.
With the higher weights, this does not happen nearly as often. The reason, the fibers are packed so close that they can’t really get snagged.
So look to the higher momme weight silk sheets. You can also get the higher weights for your duvet covers and pillowcases. They are perfect for cooler weather too and they feel absolutely amazing.
Enjoy your silk bed sheets and be prepared to end up buying many sets because almost everybody does.
